Designation of a Privacy Officer
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
This is a consensus rule making to amend section 121.2 of Title 13 NYCRR.
Statutory authority:
State Administrative Procedure Act, section 202
Subject:
Designation of a Privacy Officer.
Purpose:
Removal of a named Privacy Officer, along with their contact information.
Text of proposed rule:
The relevant provisions will read as follows:
(a) The department's privacy compliance officer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Personal Privacy Protection Law and the regulations herein and for coordinating department's response to requests for records or amendments of records. Responsibility for compliance by all special investigation units and the Statewide Organized Crime Task Force established pursuant to statute shall rest with the deputy attorney general in charge of the investigation unit or the deputy attorney general in charge of the Organized Crime Task Force.
Section 121.2(b) shall be deleted in its entirety.

Abisola Fatade, Office of the Attorney General, 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005, (212) 416-6207, email: [email protected]
Data, views or arguments may be submitted to:
Same as above.
Public comment will be received until:
60 days after publication of this notice.
Consensus Rule Making Determination
The Office of the Attorney General proposes to remove the named individual in § 121.2 “Designation of Privacy Officer”, Donald P. Hirshorn along with his work address and telephone number. The Agency does not anticipate any comments to such a change as it does not materially affect the substance of the provision. In addition, Donald P. Hirshorn is deceased and the removal of a named privacy officer eliminates the Agency’s burden of proposing a new change every time a new privacy officer is designated.
The relevant provisions will read as follows:
(a) The department's privacy compliance officer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Personal Privacy Protection Law and the regulations herein and for coordinating department's response to requests for records or amendments of records. Responsibility for compliance by all special investigation units and the Statewide Organized Crime Task Force established pursuant to statute shall rest with the deputy attorney general in charge of the investigation unit or the deputy attorney general in charge of the Organized Crime Task Force.
Section 121.2(b) shall be deleted in its entirety.
